The reason I ask about the phone is because you could have opted to
cancel
IFR
and then do whatever you wanted to do to get in and land.


In the absence of radio or phone contact, can you unilaterally cancel IFR
and inform ATC after you land?

For non-commercial operations I don't see why not. But, it's not clean
and
someone may say it was wrong to hold the airspace when you had "cancelled"
as a
state of mind.


But if the alternative were to not cancel at all, then the airspace would be
just as held-up.

Or, some might argue that a cancellation does not take effect
until ATC acknowledges its receipt.


Yup, that's what I'm unsure about. Also, if you did cancel unilaterally,
would you then squawk 1200 in case ATC still had radar contact?
